About the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50SLB
The SC32X50SLB is a compact double-acting tie-rod cylinder delivering 402 N of push force at 0.5 MPa (724 N at 0.9 MPa). Its 50 mm stroke suits short linear movements in automated assembly fixtures and clamping operations. The 12 mm diameter piston rod and PT1/8 ports keep the unit lightweight while providing reliable actuation.
This model includes a built-in magnet (-S) for direct mounting of CMSG/DMSG/EMSG reed or solid-state sensors, enabling precise end-of-stroke detection without external brackets. The LB foot mount (F-SC32LB) provides stable axial support on machine beds. Operating range is -20 to +70 °C with standard TPU seals.

Where the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50SLB Is Used
Small Part Clamping
The 402 N push force at 0.5 MPa and compact 50 mm stroke are ideal for clamping small components in CNC jigs and welding fixtures.
Diverter Gates
Short-stroke actuation for mini diverter gates on packaging conveyors. The magnet allows sensor confirmation of gate position.
Lab Automation
Light force and clean double-acting operation suit test-tube handling and microplate positioning in laboratory automation workstations.
Is the Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50SLB the Right Cylinder?
Choose the SC32 bore for light-duty tasks requiring up to 402 N at 0.5 MPa. If your load exceeds this, step up to the SC40 which provides 628 N at the same pressure. For this 50 mm stroke, side loading is minimal, but always align the rod with the load axis to prevent premature bearing wear.
For replacement, match five points: 32 mm bore, 50 mm stroke, PT1/8 port thread, LB foot mounting (F-SC32LB), and the built-in magnet (-S) for sensor compatibility. This is a tie-rod cylinder, not an ISO 15552 profile, so verify body length A of 140 mm plus stroke for your envelope.
Quick checklist
- ✓ Required force at your working pressure
- ✓ Stroke and mounting space
- ✓ Port/thread type (PT/NPT/G)
- ✓ Magnet (-S) for sensors?
- ✓ Side load — consider a guided cylinder
Installation & Maintenance Notes
- check Use clean air filtered to 40µm or finer.
- check Keep within 0.15 – 1.0 MPa operating pressure.
- check Avoid side load on the piston rod.
- check Adjust end cushion screws for smooth stops.
- check Use correct mounting accessory (FA/FB/CA/CB/LB/TC).
- check Installation by qualified personnel per AirTAC docs.
Airtac SC32 Standard Cylinder SC32X50SLB FAQ
At 0.5 MPa it pushes with 402 N and pulls with 345 N. At the maximum operating pressure of 0.9 MPa, push force reaches 724 N. The theoretical maximum at 1.0 MPa is 82 kgf.
No. The SC series is a tie-rod cylinder with a shorter body length (A=140 mm) than an equivalent ISO 15552 cylinder. It is dimensionally interchangeable only with another AirTAC SC32 of the same stroke, port, and mounting.
